Vice Outdoors LLC

Vice Outdoors guides the Owyhee about ninety minutes from Boise for wild brown trout that run past twenty inches, with the occasional rainbow among them. Access is walk-and-wade, and boots and waders are required and can be rented for thirty dollars a head. Trips run from March through September and are sold as an all-inclusive eight-hour day at 595 dollars for one or two anglers, covering bottled water and non-alcoholic drinks, a hearty lunch, rods and reels, flies and tackle. Spring fishes skwalas, blue-winged olives and early caddis, summer moves to pale morning duns, yellow sallies, ants, beetles and grasshoppers, and fall brings mahogany duns, crane flies and more blue-winged olives.
